Tips from the Community
Weir on the Waldach, 300-meter-long drive channel, iron, backward-acting water wheel with spur gear transmission, 6 meters in diameter (originally lined with wooden paddles), 3 meters of head in the drive channel, pump output: 3-5 HP depending on water inflow from the drive channel, double-acting plunger pump from Maschinenfabrik Esslingen from the year 1893 with a high-performance suction and delivery pump and pressure vessel. In 1991, the plant was shut down as a private water supply due to contaminated spring water. Depending on the water level of the Waldach, the pumping station managed to pump 160,000 liters of fresh spring water directly into the houses and into the water reservoir in Bösingen, 2.3 km away and 140 meters higher, in 8 to 14 hours. The spring yields 1-2 liters per second depending on the season.

The Waldach is a river just under 25 km long in western Baden-Württemberg in the transition area between the Northern Black Forest and Gäu. It flows into the town of Nagold in the district of Calw from the right and from the south into the Nagold. The confluence is located at the end of the Nagold knee opposite the Schlossberg with the ruin Hohennagold at less than 400 m above sea level. In total, the Waldach is 24.681 km long and has a catchment area of around 157 km². Its largest tributary is the Steinach, which alone contributes about 53.6 km² to the catchment area.
